"Dissed in the Malibu!"

About Me

Buy the COOLIDGE CD

Pop Star Baby available
October 30th 2007..
Press Clippings "Coolidge has evolved into a pop playing, guitar slinging machine on this album. Anyone who is familiar with Coolidge's work knows you will get a heavy dose of catchy songs and lyrics with harmonies that will stick in your head. Chris gives the songs a big arena rock feel that will appeal to many diverse listener." - Accent, Champaign, IL Gazette
"The debut from this up and coming Indianapolis rocker is full of melody and energy, evident in this track. With influences from the past 3 decades, "O.K." sparkles with a sound similar to what would happen if Rick Springfield joined Foo Fighters. "Center of the Universe" is a very worthy debut CD from somebody that has a passion for making quality rock and roll." - Pop Bang Radio The planet's most listened to power pop station!
"Imagine Foo Fighters combined with Squeeze, Tommy Keene and Matthew Sweet. Odd combos? Not really---it`s just that Coolidge rocks hard on a few songs here and when he does, they are driven by power packed melody. When it tones down, the pop craft of the aforementioned pop artists shines. The songs range from mellow to rock-out, but does not abrubtly switch and throw the mood. Very Highly Recommended!" - Not Lame Records good music for good people
"Chris' voice ranges from cool smoothness to pop edged, spilling lyrics over a foundation of guitar and percussion-riddled rock. Smart lyrics delivered with a punch complement the rockingness of the sound; when the guitars throw down fast chords, the vocals give them words." - Indiana University Daily Student
"Coolidge showed a strong stage presence as they launched their fiery and upbeat songs to admirers in flawless manner." - Innocent Words Magazine
